anyone know if the piston set that's +.20mm on FCPGroton matches the first bore oversize? They don't know the actual size of the piston, so I don't know what bore size i need to match.....
somebody help please.

There are several different piston sizes, you won't know what you've got until you get your piston out. Just don't bore until you have the actual pistons/rings that you will be using.

What I meant was, your stock piston is one of the standard sizes. If you order an oversized piston, it will be larger than any of the standard sized ones.

you can't bore anything without the new pistons in hand. order the .20 over and take it all to your best machine shop and have at it.
What are you doing about connecting rods? I can't beieve no one sells a stock fitment rod that will hold up.

What kind of car are you working with. If it's a turbo and you plan on doing mods for more horse power, then yes replace the rods.
